This version of FileOne is replaced by a much newer version (however it still shows the basic functionality of FileOne).
Checkhttp://www.AboutFileOne.com for the most recent version dated 30 june 2016 (which has a new look and feel and now runs on Mac OS X too).
FileOne is free a next generation organizer (or PIM) for personal fun and business use. It might be a desktop alternative for OneNote and/or EverNote. FileOne is in its basic form an email client and note taking organizer with multimedia support for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X desktop.
FileOne is operated by only ONE single window tabbed GUI and stores all you data inside ONE single file...... hence its name FileOne.
With FileOne you can:
send and receive email, create notes and documents, import images, music tracks and movies and view or play them, create calendar/agenda entries, meeting requests with invitations, manage contacts and HYPERLINK them all together with a single right mouse click. FileOne can be used as a distributable documentation help or knowledgebase system.
Note: FileOne does not store your data into the cloud (deliberately). FileOne is for those who do not want their data stored onto servers of strangers. FileOne stores all data local onto your own hard disk into a single file (optimized for huge amounts of data, super fast and always with you).

More experiments with Launchpad Pro custom firmware, after I was asked to try to address some specific shortcomings of the factory note and drum modes.
The note mode tries to be visually more "piano like"
The drum mode scrolls faster to cover all 128 MIDI notes in three pages. It also supports a "kit" page where selected notes can be quickly linked and arranged
Velocity and aftertouch are supported and can be switched off via settings page. Still need to implement the velocity curves and aftertouch threshold.
The colours look a bit more lurid due to the dark room!
You can get the firmware as a sysex here
https://github.com/hotchk155/lppro-control-surface/blob/master/build/launchpad_pro.syx?raw=true
The factory firmware from here (so you can revert back after)

Been really inspired lately my Mark Guiliana's playing, especially his exact note rate changes, and his views on using the note pyramid effectively. Wanted to dig bit deeper compared what Mark talks about in his new book, and create some alternative note pyramids.
This one has only odd numbers, so it changes between 3,5,7 and 9 notes per beat, without playing the duplet meters in between.
Been noticing a habit in my note pyramid practice: I'm often using the easy duplet meters between the odd ones as spring boards to get to the next odd number. I'm often going to the next odd one thinking that I just need to accelerate or brake a little. While that's an easy and handy way to find these odd groupings, it still doesn't really force you to hear them in your head before you start playing them, since you are relying on "just accelerating a little", and you don't end up playing them very accurately in the first few beats. I think that is bit ineffective way practising them.
Here the goal is to try to hear the next grouping in your head right when you start to play it, and be as accurate as possible right from the start. Sure, we are humans, and it's okay to search a bit for the right meter, but the goal is find it as fast as possible.
Don't really know how useful this stuff is in the real life.
Well, at least it fun. :D

Unboxing of Field NotesFront PageReporter's Notebook, and a cheap homemade alternative.
I love Field Notes. I use them all the time. I also have been using Rhodia notebooks and pads because I love the way my fountain pens write on them. This Front page notebook is exactly the same as the "sold-out" wire-bound Byline Edition printed in the Summer of 2016. It was so popular that they made it into a regular offering at the Field Notes website: https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/frontpage.
Field Notes says: "(After we sold out) even more people wrote to ask us to make more Reporter’s Notebooks. So we did. “Front Page” is here, and will remain in production and in stock indefinitely.
So what’s changed?
Only some cosmetic details. The cover is the same heavy 120#DTCNeenah stock, but in a lighter “Concrete” gray.
The innards are the same Cougar 70# text paper, but bright white college-ruled with light gray lines.
The Double-O-Binding is black rather than silver.
That’s all, really. "
But I also need cheap alternatives so I bought a ream of really good paper and made my own "Reporter's notebook" a while back using TravelMagazine covers and a comb binding machine we got secondhand off of Craigslist.
I think the comb binding machine may let me refill my Field Notes edition if I am careful.

More experiments with Launchpad Pro custom firmware, after I was asked to try to address some specific shortcomings of the factory note and drum modes.
The note mode tries to be visually more "piano like"
The drum mode scrolls faster to cover all 128 MIDI notes in three pages. It also supports a "kit" page where selected notes can be quickly linked and arranged
Velocity and aftertouch are supported and can be switched off via settings page. Still need to implement the velocity curves and aftertouch threshold.
The colours look a bit more lurid due to the dark room!
You can get the firmware as a sysex here
https://github.com/hotchk155/lppro-control-surface/blob/master/build/launchpad_pro.syx?raw=true
The factory firmware from here (so you can revert back after)
https://github.com/dvhdr/launchpad-pro/blob/master/resources/Launchpad%20Pro-1.0.154.syx?raw=true
and programming instructions can be got from README on
https://github.com/dvhdr/launchpad-pro

Been really inspired lately my Mark Guiliana's playing, especially his exact note rate changes, and his views on using the note pyramid effectively. Wanted to dig bit deeper compared what Mark talks about in his new book, and create some alternative note pyramids.
This one has only odd numbers, so it changes between 3,5,7 and 9 notes per beat, without playing the duplet meters in between.
Been noticing a habit in my note pyramid practice: I'm often using the easy duplet meters between the odd ones as spring boards to get to the next odd number. I'm often going to the next odd one thinking that I just need to accelerate or brake a little. While that's an easy and handy way to find these odd groupings, it still doesn't really force you to hear them in your head before you start playing them, since you are relying on "just accelerating a little", and you don't end up playing them very accurately in the first few beats. I think that is bit ineffective way practising them.
Here the goal is to try to hear the next grouping in your head right when you start to play it, and be as accurate as possible right from the start. Sure, we are humans, and it's okay to search a bit for the right meter, but the goal is find it as fast as possible.
Don't really know how useful this stuff is in the real life.
Well, at least it fun. :D

Unboxing of Field NotesFront PageReporter's Notebook, and a cheap homemade alternative.
I love Field Notes. I use them all the time. I also have been using Rhodia notebooks and pads because I love the way my fountain pens write on them. This Front page notebook is exactly the same as the "sold-out" wire-bound Byline Edition printed in the Summer of 2016. It was so popular that they made it into a regular offering at the Field Notes website: https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/frontpage.
Field Notes says: "(After we sold out) even more people wrote to ask us to make more Reporter’s Notebooks. So we did. “Front Page” is here, and will remain in production and in stock indefinitely.
So what’s changed?
Only some cosmetic details. The cover is the same heavy 120#DTCNeenah stock, but in a lighter “Concrete” gray.
The innards are the same Cougar 70# text paper, but bright white college-ruled with light gray lines.
The Double-O-Binding is black rather than silver.
That’s all, really. "
But I also need cheap alternatives so I bought a ream of really good paper and made my own "Reporter's notebook" a while back using TravelMagazine covers and a comb binding machine we got secondhand off of Craigslist.
I think the comb binding machine may let me refill my Field Notes edition if I am careful.
Looking for the ByLine Edition? Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHQ85H30Tu8&t=158s

Been really inspired lately my Mark Guiliana's playing, especially his exact note rate changes, and his views on using the note pyramid effectively. Wanted to dig bit deeper compared what Mark talks about in his new book, and create some alternative note pyramids.
This one has only odd numbers, so it changes between 3,5,7 and 9 notes per beat, without playing the duplet meters in between.
Been noticing a habit in my note pyramid practice: I'm often using the easy duplet meters between the odd ones as spring boards to get to the next odd number. I'm often going to the next odd one thinking that I just need to accelerate or brake a little. While that's an easy and handy way to find these odd groupings, it still doesn't really force you to hear them in your head before you start playing them, since you are relying on "just accelerating a little", and you don't end up playing them very accurately in the first few beats. I think that is bit ineffective way practising them.

But I also need cheap alternatives so I bought a ream of really good paper and made my own "Reporter's notebook" a while back using TravelMagazine covers and a comb binding machine we got secondhand off of Craigslist.
I think the comb binding machine may let me refill my Field Notes edition if I am careful.

Doctor Guitar - Episode 6: The Power Of Alternative Tunnings

DoctorGuitar is a show where I intend to share some special and, usually simple, tricks and tips that can have a huge impact on your playing and perspective.
After 24 years of playing guitar, both live and in the studio, I felt obliged to share with all the guitarists out there those things that changed my life, and hopefully can change yours too.
In this episode i show you what alternative tunings can do for your playing.
Changing where the notes are in the guitar's neck will force you to play more with your intuition and less with your muscle memory. The open tunings allow for drone notes.
We will cover the following tunings:
1. DropD
2. DADGAD
3. Open G
4. OpenE
5. Open C
6. Nashville tuning
7. Baritone
Thanks for watching the show, and please share it and subscribe the channel....

In this lecture, Dr. Madeline Cámara Betancourt considers several key cultural, political, and literary events as "crossroads" that have generated alternative thoughts in the quest for a Cuban identity after 1959.

This version of FileOne is replaced by a much newer version (however it still shows the basic functionality of FileOne).
Checkhttp://www.AboutFileOne.com for the most recent version dated 30 june 2016 (which has a new look and feel and now runs on Mac OS X too).
FileOne is free a next generation organizer (or PIM) for personal fun and business use. It might be a desktop alternative for OneNote and/or EverNote. FileOne is in its basic form an email client and note taking organizer with multimedia support for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X desktop.
FileOne is operated by only ONE single window tabbed GUI and stores all you data inside ONE single file...... hence its name FileOne.
With FileOne you can:
send and receive email, create notes and documents, import images, music tracks and movies and view or play them, create calendar/agenda entries, meeting requests with invitations, manage contacts and HYPERLINK them all together with a single right mouse click. FileOne can be used as a distributable documentation help or knowledgebase system.
Note: FileOne does not store your data into the cloud (deliberately). FileOne is for those who do not want their data stored onto servers of strangers. FileOne stores all data local onto your own hard disk into a single file (optimized for huge amounts of data, super fast and always with you).

Launchpad Pro Alternative Note and Drum Modes

More experiments with Launchpad Pro custom firmware, after I was asked to try to address some specific shortcomings of the factory note and drum modes.
The note mode tries to be visually more "piano like"
The drum mode scrolls faster to cover all 128 MIDI notes in three pages. It also supports a "kit" page where selected notes can be quickly linked and arranged
Velocity and aftertouch are supported and can be switched off via settings page. Still need to implement the velocity curves and aftertouch threshold.
The colours look a bit more lurid due to the dark room!
You can get the firmware as a sysex here
https://github.com/hotchk155/lppro-control-surface/blob/master/build/launchpad_pro.syx?raw=true
The factory firmware from here (so you can revert back after)

and programming instructions can be got from README on

"ONLY ODDS" Alternative Note Pyramid pt.1 (3,5,7,9)

Been really inspired lately my Mark Guiliana's playing, especially his exact note rate changes, and his views on using the note pyramid effectively. Wanted to dig bit deeper compared what Mark talks about in his new book, and create some alternative note pyramids.
This one has only odd numbers, so it changes between 3,5,7 and 9 notes per beat, without playing the duplet meters in between.
Been noticing a habit in my note pyramid practice: I'm often using the easy duplet meters between the odd ones as spring boards to get to the next odd number. I'm often going to the next odd one thinking that I just need to accelerate or brake a little. While that's an easy and handy way to find these odd groupings, it still doesn't really force you to hear them in your head before you start playing them, since you are relying on "just accelerating a little", and you don't end up playing them very accurately in the first few beats. I think that is bit ineffective way practising them.
Here the goal is to try to hear the next grouping in your head right when you start to play it, and be as accurate as possible right from the start. Sure, we are humans, and it's okay to search a bit for the right meter, but the goal is find it as fast as possible.
Don't really know how useful this stuff is in the real life.
Well, at least it fun. :D

Unboxing of Field NotesFront PageReporter's Notebook, and a cheap homemade alternative.
I love Field Notes. I use them all the time. I also have been using Rhodia notebooks and pads because I love the way my fountain pens write on them. This Front page notebook is exactly the same as the "sold-out" wire-bound Byline Edition printed in the Summer of 2016. It was so popular that they made it into a regular offering at the Field Notes website: https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/frontpage.
Field Notes says: "(After we sold out) even more people wrote to ask us to make more Reporter’s Notebooks. So we did. “Front Page” is here, and will remain in production and in stock indefinitely.
So what’s changed?
Only some cosmetic details. The cover is the same heavy 120#DTCNeenah stock, but in a lighter “Concrete” gray.
The innards are the same Cougar 70# text paper, but bright white college-ruled with light gray lines.
The Double-O-Binding is black rather than silver.
That’s all, really. "
But I also need cheap alternatives so I bought a ream of really good paper and made my own "Reporter's notebook" a while back using TravelMagazine covers and a comb binding machine we got secondhand off of Craigslist.
I think the comb binding machine may let me refill my Field Notes edition if I am careful.

Doctor Guitar - Episode 6: The Power Of Alternative Tunnings

DoctorGuitar is a show where I intend to share some special and, usually simple, tricks and tips that can have a huge impact on your playing and perspective.
After 24 years of playing guitar, both live and in the studio, I felt obliged to share with all the guitarists out there those things that changed my life, and hopefully can change yours too.
In this episode i show you what alternative tunings can do for your playing.
Changing where the notes are in the guitar's neck will force you to play more with your intuition and less with your muscle memory. The open tunings allow for drone notes.
We will cover the following tunings:
1. DropD
2. DADGAD
3. Open G
4. OpenE
5. Open C
6. Nashville tuning
7. Baritone
Thanks for watching the show, and please share it and subscribe the channel.

In this lecture, Dr. Madeline Cámara Betancourt considers several key cultural, political, and literary events as "crossroads" that have generated alternative thoughts in the quest for a Cuban identity after 1959.
